After meeting Ren Xuanyu, a few days later, Shen Huai remembered that he might have to go on a second date. It was strange that Ren Xuanyu was handsome and had a soft personality. When Shen Huai saw him, he would feel excited. But as long as they didn't meet, he would not be concerned. In the final analysis, it was because Ren Xuanyu's style was really different from his previous taste.
However, changing his taste when he was not ready to change was also because he was looking forward to a surprise.
Leisurely thinking, Shen Huai took out his mobile phone and called Ren Xuanyu. However, it was Ren Xuanyu's assistant who answered the phone.
"Brother Yu is working. What can I do for you?"
"Oh, he is working? What kind of work? "
Probably because of Shen Huai's unhurried tone, the assistant realized that he should not answer casually, so he asked, "Excuse me, but you are?"
An idea suddenly came to Shen Huai and he asked curiously, "He didn't leave a note for me?"
"He did."
"Then you still don't know who I am?"
"Well …" The young man hesitated for a moment, "He left a heart note."
Shen Huai was stunned and laughed, "Tell me the address. I'll go and see him."
At this moment, the assistant seemed to finally realize that Shen Huai's identity was ambiguous. He said the address with a little unsteady breath. This time, Shen Huai called the driver on standby and went to the destination.
The destination was not unfamiliar. It was the headquarters of the famous domestic fashion magazine, The Fool. After the driver stopped in front of the building, Shen Huai went straight in. There was an access control at the back of the lobby. Usually, he went straight to the VIP passage. This was the first time he went into the lobby, so he did not think much. He was stopped by the security guard and asked for a visitor card.
In the past, he came here for business, and Cheng Pei arranged for him. Today, he suddenly had a sudden interest, so of course, no one received him. So, Shen Huai had to call Ren Xuanyu's assistant to pick him up.
Five minutes later, it was Ren Xuanyu who came downstairs.
He was still wearing the clothes he wore on the cover, a down-and-out gentleman's suit with the collar open and the sleeves rolled up. Her hair was styled and messy, and her makeup was heavy. Her leather boots tapped on the smooth floor as she walked over. Even in a fashion magazine company where everyone was dressed to the nines, she was still eye-catching.
"I still have about an hour." Ren Xuanyu looked a little anxious. "Why don't I come to you after I'm done?"
"There's no need. I'll wait for you upstairs," Shen Huai said naturally.
Ren Xuanyu pursed his lips and revealed a hint of delight. Shen Huai looked at him with a smile. He didn't expect that Ren Xuanyu, who was so big, could be so cute.
***
The theme of the series of photos that Ren Xuanyu was going to shoot for the magazine today was "Dark Alley." "Dark Alley" was also his upcoming movie of the same name. The protagonist played by Ren Xuanyu was the son of an officer of a defeated country. Because of the political oppression of the defeated country, he smuggled to a neighboring country, mingled with the gray crowd in the dark alley, and became a local mafia member.
From a noble son born in a family full of militarism education, to living with the underworld, and finally building his own empire in a foreign country, the role played by Ren Xuanyu highly condensed the current situation and personal conflicts. It was said that it took the director three years to cast the role, and Ren Xuanyu auditioned back and forth sixteen times before it was finalized.
The production rights of this movie were not in the hands of Shen Huai. It was taken away by a new company that was established only three years ago. Originally, Shen Huai's company was interested, but during the negotiation, Shen Huai sent his second-in-command to meet the director. He was greedy for novelty, so he accompanied his then-college girlfriend to participate in some pet adoption event. The founder of the new company went to talk to them in person. As a result, Shen Huai came back scratched by cats and dogs. The director thought that they were not sincere enough, so the negotiation fell through. However, Shen Huai didn't feel that it was a pity. He was rich and had resources. If he missed a good movie, there would always be another one. Moreover, the male lead was from his own company, which was good enough.
That was what he thought at that time.
After Ren Xuanyu finished the photo shoot, there was still more than twenty minutes of interview left. He only talked about gossip and other questions with a few words. He only talked about the movie "Dark Alley."
"The Internet said that I auditioned 16 times, but that's not entirely true. In fact, from the first audition, Director Liu Xinzhu felt that I had a chance, but at that time, I was still young and my knowledge of characters was still shallow. Furthermore, I looked like this, and in Director Liu Xinzhu's words, my silhouette wasn't strong enough, and I was too good-looking. This good-looking is definitely a derogatory term, because although Wu Wang was a young master in the film, he was still from a military family. He was handsome but also very strong, and my image didn't match. The director was very hesitant, and coincidentally, some things happened, so the film project was put on hold. In the past three years, I acted as usual. Later, Director Liu Xinzhu watched some of my films and was interested, so he called me over to talk to him about Wu Wang. I did go over a dozen times, and it wasn't a formal audition. In the end, the film was approved, and I also practiced for three years. I was also familiar with the characters, so I acted in this film. Although the process was a little complicated, it wasn't as exaggerated as what the internet said.
At this time, Ren Xuanyu had already removed her heavy makeup. She was sitting on a simple white stool, looking very humble. Her hands were loosely clasped in front of her. When she spoke, she looked seriously at the reporter opposite her.
"But there are reports that in order to understand the character, you personally went to the underground gambling house for a period of time and earned a large sum of money."
"Oh, that." Ren Xuanyu smiled. "I didn't have as much exposure three years ago. He wouldn't be easily recognized. Moreover, my understanding of gangs was either from 'The Godfather' or 'Young and Dangerous'. I was too inexperienced. I just wanted to see how the real ruffians lived and worked. As long as I didn't renege on my debt and felt that I couldn't afford to lose, I could leave. It wasn't too dangerous. Although I was prepared for this, after I entered, I was indeed bewitched by the people inside. They would cheat and take the initiative to lend money to you. At first, the interest was passable, but later on, it became more and more outrageous. Other than me, who doesn't want to recoup their losses or is in urgent need of money? That was why their loans were almost always successful. I did lose some money, but it was still okay. After all, I learned a lot. Not only was it helpful for the movie 'Dark Alleys', but it was also helpful for myself. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'All pain comes from greed'? It's important to restrain your desires. "
Shen Huai sat at the side, crossing his legs and looking attentively at Ren Xuanyu. When Ren Xuanyu said the last sentence, he glanced at him.
Shen Huai didn't mind and even smiled back at him.
Ren Xuanyu's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Seeing him smile, Shen Huai was in a good mood, so he waited patiently until it was over.
After Ren Xuanyu finished work, he changed into a fresh T-shirt and jeans and walked quickly towards Shen Huai.
"Sorry to have made Boss Shen wait for so long."
"It's okay." Shen Huai put his hands in his trouser pockets and smiled gently and flirtatiously. "I'm just regretting that I didn't win 'Dark Alley' three years ago. Otherwise, I would have known you then."
Ren Kinyu revealed that little expression of lowering his head and pursing his lips again. That's strange, this expression should be feminine no matter what, but Ren Kinyu is such a tall and handsome person, but when he does it, it only makes people's hearts beat.
Shen Huai was a person who liked to discover other people's good points. For example, a person like Bai Tan, who was good with money and power and was good at making people happy, would think that petty cleverness was cute. On the other hand, Ren Xuanyu, who was straightforward and even a little simple and tall young man when they met for the first time, also made Shen Huai feel that the contrast was cute.
Even his love for his job and dedication became charming in the eyes of Shen Huai, who had always regarded doing business as a game.
Shen Huai looked at Ren Xuanyu opposite him, and there was a smile at the bottom of his eyes. He was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and when he was in love, the corners of his eyes were the most lively. Ren Xuanyu was about to walk over, but when he looked up and saw his smile, he stopped in his tracks.
It was that smile. Ren Xuanyu's heart beat violently, like a cat teasing stick being chased by a cat's paw. It bounced randomly, and he couldn't stop it. He couldn't walk, and he couldn't look away either. Even in the face of frequent flashing lights, he was calm and composed. He smiled at Shen Huai casually, but his eyes were straight.
Shen Huai saw that he suddenly froze and was stunned. Then he touched his face in an old-fashioned way. "Did I get something on my face?"
Ren Xuanyu successfully came back to his senses, and for a moment, he was a little embarrassed. Shen Huai moved closer to him. "Did I really get something on my face? Can you help me remove it? "
Shen Huai had an evil smile on his face, and his eyes were so bright that it made people panic. Ren Xuanyu swallowed his saliva, reached out his hand, and touched Shen Huai's face with his fingertips.
Obviously, it was Shen Huai who intended to flirt with people, but when Ren Xuanyu's smooth fingertips touched his face, he was stunned, and then he stepped back in confusion.
Ren Xuanyu withdrew his hand helplessly.
Shen Huai looked up at him, and his tone couldn't help but be a little indifferent. "I've booked a table in the Vine Pavilion. If Mr. Ren is free, come with me for a casual meal."
"I'm free." Ren Xuanyu lowered his head, and he was very docile. "I'm very free."
Shen Huai smiled, turned around, and walked forward. Ren Xuanyu followed him in a daze, thinking that this smile at this time was obviously different from the one just now.
***
Shen Huai was a little absent-minded during the whole meal.
In the quiet private room, the waiter had been sent away. The ornamental fish swam briskly in the water tank hanging on the wall. Ren Xuanyu was also depressed, and he only lowered his head to eat.
Shen Huai recalled that when Ren Xuanyu took the hard photos, he put on a cold and experienced face in front of the camera, which made people's eyes wet. When facing the interview, he was gentle and humble. These days, he read a lot of information about Ren Xuanyu, and he knew that Ren Xuanyu debuted seven years ago. Because he had no background and was not a professional, he struggled in the circle for a few years. Because of his appearance, hard work, and some undeniable talents, he gradually became popular. When reading these information, Shen Huai didn't think much about it. His focus was on which restaurants and cars Ren Xuanyu liked, including the Vine Pavilion today, which was also because of Ren Xuanyu's taste.
However, after finishing work just now, when Ren Xuanyu touched his face carefully, Shen Huai got a little goosebumps. It was only a touch of a few tenths of a millimeter, but Shen Huai felt the pressure of Ren Xuanyu holding his breath and concentrating.
Now, he sat down and thought about Ren Xuanyu in his heart. Before Ren Xuanyu found him, he had never slept with anyone, at least he had never sold his beauty. It took him seven years to go from a small role to a movie king. Ren Xuanyu was definitely not a simple person. So, whether he was shy or straightforward in front of him, he should be more or less acting. In fact, although Shen Huai didn't think about it carefully, he also thought so subconsciously. Many people had pretended to be pure in front of him, some good and some bad. The reason why Shen Huai was interested in Shen Huai was that he felt that Ren Xuanyu, a man who had grown up no matter how you looked at him, could pretend to be pure and harmonious, which was quite fresh and eye-catching.
They were all acting, and Shen Huai didn't mind others treating him with acting. Those rich people were tired of flattery and wanted to play sincere, which was purely a psychological disease. Everyone took what they needed, and it was the clearest. Sincerity was too troublesome. It needed to be judged and maintained, and if one didn't want it, it was difficult to get rid of it.
Ren Xuanyu wanted his help to consolidate his position, and he also revealed that Shen Huai was quite attractive, so he was willing to sacrifice himself for the movie king. He felt that this level was enough. His wealth, power, and strength as a boyfriend were all enough to let Ren Xuanyu and himself enjoy a happy relationship. It should be known that even when he was dating a university student, he had a good grasp of the scale, and there would never be a time when he was not clean.
Moreover, Ren Xuanyu was from his company, and if this person had some other thoughts, wouldn't it be a waste of his future?
Because if Shen Huai was annoyed, not to mention the movie king, he wouldn't frown even if the company was dissolved.
"Boss Shen doesn't have a good appetite?"
Ren Xuanyu pulled Shen Huai's thoughts back, and he simply put down his chopsticks and listlessly said, "Yes, I ate something before I came out, so I'm not hungry now. You can eat slowly."
Ren Xuanyu obediently continued to eat the soup dumplings, and he pierced the soup dumplings on the spoon, slowly drinking the hot soup, and then ate the thin skin and thick stuffing of the crab roe dumplings. Ren Xuanyu's eating was not the most elegant, but it was not sloppy either. He chewed slowly, and it looked delicious.
He finished the soup dumplings on the spoon, raised his head, and said to Shen Huai, "Boss Shen, 'Dark Alley' will be released next month, can I invite you to watch it then?"
"Sure." Shen Huai had originally planned to watch it, regardless of whether they broke up or not.
"But if Boss Shen wants to watch it, you will probably go to Fran Ying City, right?"
"Yes, of course."
Fran Ying City was a newly established subsidiary of Shen Huai's Shriu Entertainment Company. Before that, Fran Ying City had been spread across more than half of the cities in the country. After the establishment of Fran Ying City, in order to support their own company's movies, Fran Ying City would not or would not show movies that had a scheduling conflict with their company's movies, or movies that had great box office competition. Even if they would lose some box office because of this, it was not very effective, but it could still discourage their competitors. The main reason was that Family Shen was rich and powerful, and Shen Huai was a more capricious person.
After asking, Shen Huai also remembered that "Dark Alley" was considered a competitor of his company.
"Don't worry, you are the pillar of our company, and we will definitely not be stingy in investing in you. 'Dark Alley' will be screened in Fran Ying City as usual. I don't think I need to say anything, and my subordinates will do the same."
"It's not like that. I hope that Fran Ying City can focus on promoting the huge light box and the premiere of 'Dark Alley'. In addition, because 'Unscrupulous' has a similar style to 'Dark Alley', I hope they can stagger the schedule or reduce the number of screenings."
Ren Xuanyu spoke without any hesitation or pause. Shen Huai listened to him and took a while to digest it. He was a little amused. "I remember that both films are scheduled during the Golden Week, right? Whether you stagger the schedule or reduce the number of screenings, you will suffer a lot. Also, 'Unscrupulous' is a film from Fran Ying City. You want me to tighten my belt for you and let my opponent make a lot of money from my territory?"
"After the Golden Week, there will be another small holiday in half a month, and 'Unscrupulous' can be delayed until then."
"The publicity has been released long ago. It can't be changed." Shen Huai was getting a little impatient. "You're an actor. You won't have anything to do with it once the movie is done. It's not like your reputation was completely built up during the month of release. Just act your part well. What's the rush?"
"I have to hurry." Ren Xuanyu looked over. He was the one asking for help, but his eyes were magnanimous. "Boss Shen probably doesn't know, but Teacher Liu Xinzhu … is in need of money now. This film is not only his blood and sweat, he has also invested half of his life's savings into it. He doesn't want anyone to help him out of charity, so the only thing that can save him is the return of this film."
Shen Huai was stunned. Ren Xuanyu's eyes were sincere, and even his voice seemed to have changed, turning into the heavy voice of a realistic film.
"Er …" Shen Huai didn't expect such a scene. Although he hated suffering, he couldn't reject it immediately when it came to him.
Ren Xuanyu suddenly stood up, walked to the side of the table, and squatted down in front of Shen Huai. Shen Huai looked down at him in confusion, and then he held his face with both hands, pulled it down, and kissed it.
Ren Xuanyu's wet tongue licked Shen Huai's mouth, and he said to Shen Huai in a low voice, "Boss Shen, save Teacher. I will give you whatever you want."
This sudden offering made Shen Huai dumbfounded. My God, giving yourself to someone is the most awkward thing in this world!
